Periodontal, Gum Disease, and Gingivitis

Periodontal, or gum, diseases, include gingivitis and periodontitis These are serious infections that left untreated can lead to pain and in some cases tooth loss. It is extremely important that periodontal diseases be diagnosed and treated in order to avoid the long-term damaging effects.

At Robert J. Brown DDS we work to diagnose, treat, and maintain periodontal disease. Diagnosis most commonly occurs during regularly scheduled cleaning and examinations.

Periodontal disease can be treated both surgically and non-surgically. We understand that most people wish to avoid surgery unless it is utterly necessary, and Doctor Brown explores any and all non-surgical options before recommending surgery. After treating the periodontal disease, Doctor Brown maintains the healthy gum and tooth tissue through regularly scheduled cleanings.
